Intramuscular myxoma is an uncommon benign intramuscular myxoid lesion.

Intramuscular myxoma
Diagnosis in short

Intramuscular myxoma.

LM myxoid stroma with bland stellate cells and/or bland spindle cells, intramuscular, usu. hypervascular and hypercellular
Subtypes hypercellular, hypervascular
LM DDx myxoid lesions
Site soft tissue

Prevalence rare
Prognosis benign, rarely recur

General
